Prism’s April Events

April 3, 2017admin

No matter how hard you don’t want to believe it or are fighting against it, Miami is changing. For many of us working hard to ensure that the city’s future is bright, we think it’s transforming for the better–even if it may be a little slow at that. One way to physically witness the metamorphosis is by going out and experiencing the culture in your own backyard. You can discover some fun times on your own, or pass by any of the events we’ve worked hard to produce, promote, and support ourselves. Check em out:

Jam to a sizzling opening set all leading to a powerful live performance from Batuke Samba Funk.
